Cheap Trick - Didn't Know I Had It Lyrics






It was so easy that I started thinkin' somethin' had to change.
The gift of love was somethin' that I thought I'd go out and exchange.
I didn't realize how much you meant to me.
And now you're locked up with a brand new set of keys.
You said I might regret the day I let you go,
I'd wind up stranded like a washed up gigolo.
I'd get more static than a broken radio.
You were the right one all along...ooh.

'Cause I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.
I've been holdin' everything except for love,
I wish I had you back today.
Oh, I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.

Each day my hindsight just gets better, but I know that love is blind.
(Love is blind)
You were the only ray of sunshine I was ever gonna find.
(Gonna find)
You were the magic and I made you disappear.
Now I'd give everything I own to have you here.
You told me I was gonna make a big mistake,
I didn't know how many times my heart could break.
Now in the middle of the night, I'm still awake.
And all I can think of is you...ooh, ooh, ooh.

'Cause I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.
I've been holdin' everything except for love,
I wish I had you back today.
'Cause I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.

Now I know in my heart, I threw it away.
I've been holdin' onto everything except for love,
I wish I had you back today.
'Cause I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away...hey, hey.

[SOLO]

You said that I'd regret the day I let you go.
(Day I let you go)
I'd wind up stranded like some washed up gigolo.
(Washed up gigolo)
I'd get more static than a broken radio.
You were the right one all along...ooh, ooh, ooh.

'Cause I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.
I've been holdin' everything except for love,
I wish I had you back today.
'Cause, I didn't know I had it,
'Til I threw it away.
No, I didn't know I had it...
'Til I threw it away.

    I wonder if cheap trick ever heard of the bands Beatles,The Who or electric light orchestra?glad they left epic records,no more keyboards drum machines and over produced that killed good songs,strip it down to the natural band and let the band carry the songs.
